κατοικίσεως: sc. τῆς πόλεως, but the antecedent is attracted into the relative clause (ἣν ᾠκίζετε πόλιν), as often: cf. I 350 C note ὡμολογεῖτε. II 369 E ff. πῶς δ᾽ οὐ διαφέρει; Baiter follows Hirschig in bracketing διαφέρει. The formula πῶς δ᾽ οὔ; is however so common, that no scribe is likely to have added διαφέρει. Cf. διαφέρει in VI 496 A. For the sentiment see Xen. Oec. 7. 22 τὴν φύσιν—εὐθὺς παρεσκεύασεν ὁ θεὸς—τὴν μὲν τῆς γυναικὸς ἐπὶ τὰ ἔνδον ἔργα καὶ ἐπιμελήματα, τὴν δὲ τοῦ ἀνδρὸς ἐπὶ τὰ ἔξω ἔργα καὶ ἐπιμελήματα—the orthodox Greek view.
